Laurence Anyways (2012, Xavier Dolan)
Laurence Alia: Should I talk about the letters I never sent? To the A.Z. Woman?
La journaliste: By calling her that, don't you feel like you are objectifying her?
Laurence Alia: No. I Call her A.Z., because it all begins and ends with he...
Crome Yellow and I have teamed up to bring you The Director Series! Every month, I'm going to select a foreign filmmaker that is coming out with a film in that month, watch all their filmography, and rate them from the worst to the best! With The Grandmaster already out, it was no question that Wong Kar-wai shouldn't be the first director I pursue. Don't let my stink face (up there)...
James Franco has been trying his hand behind the camera and finally, his latest film Child of God is going to premiere at the Venice Film Festival. This is only a teaser but you can get a sense that either Franco is trying really hard or this could potentially be a little gem in the pile of big dogs (Terry Gilliam's The Zero Theorem, Tsai Ming-liang's Stray Dogs) especially in competition.

You're Next showed at the Los Angeles Film Festival. I think you guys know by now, my horror taste is not really up to par and while you can't really trust my taste, I can say that when I want to shit my pants, it is worthy of some recommendation. Whereas in You're Next, that was not the case but it was a fun and somewhat surprisingly film. Other than that, it didn't reinvent the horror genre...
I Stand Alone (1998, Gaspar Noe)
Narrator: Death isn't much of anything in the end. We make such a big deal out of it. But up close, it's like nothing. A body without life, nothing more. People are like animals. You love them, you bury them and it's over. Still, it's my first time seeing it. Hers too. But she seems all upset. Yet there's nothing to get all mushy over. All right, yeah. I'll walk her home. She looks fragile....
No doubt is Edgar Wright's final installment of the Cornetto Trilogy, The World's End is one of the best films of this summer, if not, THE best! I had just finished watching Hot Fuzz merely seconds before I started doing The World's End review and can say that these two films are at a close tie. They encompass out of this world energy in their shots and character that make this story about a...
When is Snowpiercer coming out already?! I have been asking myself this question since I first heard about the film late last year and have been patiently waiting. But I'm not so sure how much I want to watch it anymore considering The Weinstein Company who acquired the film for U.S. distribution chopped 20 minutes off of the film which even made Chris Evans, one of the actors of the Snowpiercer...
Wong Kar-wai. Marital Arts. Tony Leung. Ziyi Zhang. Need I really say more? These four things will single handedly convince me to watch anything relating to them. The Grandmaster is one of the most luscious looking martial arts film that not only showcases breathtaking as well as heart-pounding marital art scenes, but there is a classic Wong Kar-wai story of forbidden love embedded in it. I...
I rarely ever double-book myself but accidentally bought tickets for Sundance's new LA film festival called Next Weekend during the same week as Outsidelands! So, my friend Michelle went for me to see 12 O'Clock Boys, This is Martin Bonner, and our favorite, Cutie and the Boxer. Watch our review of the films and us just generally being wacky together (as always!).&nbs...
OH MY GOD, it's out! Kim Ki-Duk, one of the most provocative South Korean filmmakers of this generation has another film out called Moebius. Apparently, it was so atrociously controversial that they banned it in Korea. After they made some cuts, it is finally being premiere at Toronto and Venice. And now the trailer is out. There is an unnaturally eerie vibe to it already. I am actually petrified...
The 51st New York Film Festival is taken place September 27 - October 13 at the Lincoln Center. This is the line-up of their Main Slate which features some (mostly) the high-anticipated Fall films. I wish I had enough money to go but maybe next year! Till then, I'm just going to bold and highlight purple what I'm most excited about. What are you excited for?!
